The group wore clothing and bore flags emblazoned with Nazi insignia outside the entrance to the Disney Springs shopping center, the sheriff’s office said.

Groups of neo-Nazis and white supremacists spread antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ messages outside Disney World and in the nearby Orlando, Florida, area Saturday in the latest examples of rising antisemitism in the U.S., officials said.

About 15 people wearing clothing and bearing flags emblazoned with Nazi insignia demonstrated outside the entrance to the Disney Springs shopping center, said the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, which said deputies were dispatched around 10:40 a.m.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights organization dedicated to countering extremism, participants carried antisemitic, white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ flags and signs. The group consisted of members of the neo-Nazi groups Order of the Black Sun, Aryan Freedom Network and 14 First, a now disbanded group that has been absorbed into the National Socialist Movement, the largest neo-Nazi group in the U.S., according to the ADL.

    I guess I’m just as bad as those Nazis for wanting to protect vulnerable people.

    I guess LGBTQIA+ people can go fuck themselves, from what you’re implying.

      I’m not implying anything. I’m directly suggesting you are a sociopath, based upon your comments in this post. If your answer to a social/political issue is “GUNz!” you’re more than a little mentally askew.
